Miklos,

This is a complimentary/fixup patch to the patch currently at the tip of
overlayfs-next. I did not run into ENOENT in my tests, but it seems that
all other places in overlayfs that call lookup_one_len_unlocked() check
the ENOENT return value and treat it the same as negative dentry.

I suppose this could be expected from some file systems?

Amir.
